Vitality score
Vitality score 13.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 48 % of the 11,868 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 4 days a year at or above 30 °C and 41 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the FRESNEY LE VIEU weather station, 6.8 km away at 175 m; the village itself is at 179 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at ST SYLVAIN_SAPC, 14.9 km away at 62 m, over 14 summers. [11]
That station sits 117 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 138 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at GERMAIN LANGOT, 4.2 km away at 197 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Martainville's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
